Some might fault him for being loyal to England, but times were different back then. And we’d like to think that he was always an American at heart (at least a Virginian!). This beer is a tribute to the olden days and to the heart of exploration which led Old Al to the valley! Loosely influenced by one of George Washington’s old beer recipes, with molasses for some unique sweetness and rich malty flavor.

On tap at brewery:
Light brown and mildly hazy, with a thin white ring. Nose and taste run a little sweet, but there’s a nice mix of toffee and treacle/molasses in both (more in taste). The finish does manage to balance the sweeter opening with some tea-like notes that clean up nicely enough.
